[akheR]

It will be epic if it's another draw. )

 

[insaftak]

they are calling them back LOL @ rain

 

[imshally81]

what about D/L law ??

 

[nads_rocks]

rain seems to have stopped/calmed down. They should let them continue.

 

[nads_rocks]

covers come on now!

 

[IAJ]

What is Billy doing with munaf? :gambhir

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's Friday night people want to go out and party, end this nonsense now.

England will chase this down at a canter

 

[nads_rocks]

Munaf Patel socialising with all 3 umpires

 

[nads_rocks]

Great, more stupid calculations coming up!

 

[Sledger]

d/l par is 56, but not in effect yet.

 

[nads_rocks]

d/l par is 56, but not in effect yet.

Knowin Sanjay Manjrekar he will prob complain about that too. How this rule is harming India because 20 overs have not been bowled!

 

[nads_rocks]

Its not raining!

 

[Sledger]

Rain has stopped, no time of resumption given yet.

 

[nads_rocks]

Another revised target coming up!

 

[Sledger]

Never heard Gower get so flustered. )

8: 40 resumption - in 10 minutes time.

 

[nads_rocks]

Target is now 241

 

[insaftak]

England's RRR is 7.52 in 25 overs

 

[KingKhanWC]

So what's the maths now?

25 overs to get 188?

Better for England.

 

[nads_rocks]

The target now is 241 in 34 overs.

What kind of rubbish calculation is this! Thats just absolutely pathetic!

This D/L is proving out to be VERY VERY harsh and unfair!

 

[nads_rocks]

With Cook and Trott at the crease, I don't know how England will maintain this rr

 

[iRfaN_LA]

The target now is 241 in 34 overs.

What kind of rubbish calculation is this! Thats just absolutely pathetic!

This D/L is proving out to be VERY VERY harsh and unfair!

I agree. This D/L method is very harsh ! Very soon the game would be reduced to 200 in 20 overs. ridiculous.

 

[velu]

188 of 148.. vinay bowling at 127

 

[velu]

 

[nads_rocks]

by cook

 

[velu]

58/1 in 10 overs

 

[nads_rocks]

In theory I don't understand this calculation at all.

India managed 304-6.

England have in total had 16 overs docked with only 63 runs knocked off the total! Does not make any sense at all.

 

[AlizeeFan]

It should be easier for England.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Both Batting & bowling powerplay will be for 3 overs each. Four bowlers can bowl 7 overs & one can bowl 6 overs

 

[Cricfan4eva]

This is gonna be a wash out. Such a good game turning out to become such a farce.

 

[nads_rocks]

Rain is back...

 

[insaftak]

raining again

 

[Strike!]

More rain. )

 

[Sledger]

59/1, what is the ReqRR?

 

[nads_rocks]

good quick single taken

 

[nads_rocks]

59/1, what is the reqrr?

7.52

 

[Sledger]

Steady rain.

 

[velu]

Freehit coming

 

[insaftak]

Par score is 62 right now

 

[IAJ]

lols, out but it's a no ball

 

[Strike!]

No ball. )

 

[nads_rocks]

Trott caught out BUT its a NO BALL!

 

[Sledger]

No ball, free hit.

 

[insaftak]

no ball )

 

[nads_rocks]

Freehit coming up and batsman did cross...

 

[Sledger]

Its a big no ball.

 

[nads_rocks]

wasted free hit

 

[KingKhanWC]

India are destined to win this................NOT! )

 

[Sledger]

Partiv Patel. )

 

[Sledger]

Didn't get hold of the FH.

 

[insaftak]

@ cook and trott

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ Dravid's smile literally invert.

 

[nads_rocks]

Cook and Trott really putting all their power into these shots but going nowhere.

 

[nads_rocks]

England par score at 20 overs is 118 and they are currently 65-1 in 11

 

[Square Drive]

LOL at the no-ball. BTW, what's the par score?

 

[AlizeeFan]

In theory I don't understand this calculation at all.

India managed 304-6.

England have in total had 16 overs docked with only 63 runs knocked off the total! Does not make any sense at all.

They didn't lose any wicket in those 16 overs either. Just 6 rpo for 5 overs and runs needed will be reduced to 155+ in 20 overs with 8-9 wickets in hand.

 

[Square Drive]

England par score at 20 overs is 118 and they are currently 65-1 in 11

Ok, thanks.

 

[Sledger]

Ashwin bowling.

 

[Square Drive]

England should try slogging.

 

[nads_rocks]

They didn't lose any wicket in those 16 overs either. Just 6 rpo for 5 overs and runs needed will be reduced to 155+ in 20 overs with 8-9 wickets in hand.

They should figure out a better way to revise these calculations.

I don't find this D/L fair and accurate at all. It should be fair for the batting team and bowling team.

This revised target works in favour to India more than it does England.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wet ball for spinners. Batters just need to wait for that poor ball which will slip out.

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[velu]

 

[Square Drive]

:4!!

 

[nads_rocks]

rr climbing up to 7.73 now

 

[Sledger]

75/1.

 

[insaftak]

for cook

 

[nads_rocks]

welcome boundary

 

[velu]

:2

 

[KingKhanWC]

50 off 50 not bad for these two.

 

[nads_rocks]

50 partnership at run a ball btwn these 2.

 

[Sledger]

50 partnership.

 

[nads_rocks]

Trott has adapted to the reqd rate today which is good.

 

[AlizeeFan]

They should figure out a better way to revise these calculations.

I don't find this D/L fair and accurate at all. It should be fair for the batting team and bowling team.

This revised target works in favour to India more than it does England.

Maybe it's in favor of India. But my expectations have gone down with this change. England (or maybe many teams) would find it easier to chase 150-160 runs in 20 overs than 300 in 50 overs on most days.

 

[nads_rocks]

80-1 in 13

 

[Square Drive]

RRR is 7.66.

 

[Sledger]

They aren't variations Bumble, it's called a stock ball. )

 

[nads_rocks]

Maybe it's in favor of India. But my expectations have gone down with this change. England would find it easier to score 150-160 runs in 20 overs than 300 in 50 overs on most days.

Yes I agree there about the 300 total because this d/l has ruined what could have been a crunch match. A total under lights of 300+ is always difficult to chase, but then again so did the last ODI which was decided on a dull d/l tie for a mere 7 deliveries!

 

[KingKhanWC]

"Indian players on flights at 5/6 am"

Get out of the UK without anyone noticing them.

 

[nads_rocks]

Rain is playing chupa chupi today!
